Pre-a details

Post by arprea »

Hi,

restoration of my '53 proceeds in the bodyshop. I would need help with couple of details:
1) How should the sheet metal look like inside trunk, around the the upper shock tower bolt? I close up photo would be great!
2) How the seam between b-pillar lockpost and threshold plate was originally done in the factory? Is there overlapping metal or just plain welded seam? Again picture of the original would help greatly.

Thanks again in advance,

Aki

Hi Aki, I have a '53 but it's currently having a bit of work done.
I will try and get over to see it and take some photos. Where are you based? If you pm me your number I will give you a call when I make it over there.

Ahhh yes. That looks familiar, although mine has had a big repair some years ago.
